How to connect Google Calendar to Orbit
Connecting Google Calendar gives Orbit two-way sync: events you make in Orbit show in Google and vice versa, and your booking pages only offer slots you are truly free. It also lets Mia read upcoming meetings and prepare briefs in advance. Calendar sync is part of the upcoming Pro plan.
What does two-way calendar sync do?
Two-way sync means there is one calendar, viewable from two places. Book a call on your Orbit booking page and it appears in Google. Block an afternoon in Google and your booking page stops offering those slots. No double-bookings, no copying events back and forth.
It also keeps your availability honest. When a lead picks a time on a booking page, Orbit checks your real Google calendar first. That is what makes AI appointment booking trustworthy: the agent only offers times you can actually keep.
Heads up: Google Calendar two-way sync is part of the upcoming Pro plan, not the free plan. The free plan includes a calendar and one booking page. Live two-way sync with Google arrives with Pro.
How do I connect Google Calendar to Orbit?
On Pro, it is a quick Google sign-in. Here is the flow.
- 1Open Settings and go to the Calendar or Integrations area.
- 2Click Connect Google Calendar and sign in with the Google account that holds your real schedule.
- 3Approve the calendar permissions so Orbit can read your events and create new ones.
- 4Choose which calendar to sync if you keep more than one, like work versus personal.
- 5Create a test event in Orbit and confirm it appears in Google within a moment, then delete it.
Pro tip: let Mia turn calendar events into briefings
This is where the calendar connection pays for itself.
- Mia, the meeting-prep agent, reads your upcoming calendar events and matches each one to the contact in your CRM.
- About 75 minutes before a meeting, she drafts a brief: who you are meeting, your last few touchpoints, open deals, and any tasks tied to them.
- The brief arrives as a card. Skim it before the call and walk in already knowing where you left off.
- Pair this with a tidy contact timeline and Mia has rich context to work from, the same prep you would do by hand before a client meeting.

Frequently asked questions
Is Google Calendar sync free in Orbit?+
No. Two-way Google Calendar sync is part of the upcoming Pro plan. The free plan includes a calendar and one booking page, but live two-way sync with Google arrives with Pro. Pro is coming soon.
Does Orbit have two-way calendar sync?+
Yes, on the upcoming Pro plan. Events created in Orbit appear in Google Calendar and events created in Google appear in Orbit. Your booking pages then only offer times you are genuinely free, with no double-bookings.
How does Mia use my calendar?+
Mia reads your upcoming calendar events, matches each to a contact, and drafts a meeting brief about 75 minutes before the call. The brief covers your recent touchpoints, open deals, and related tasks, and arrives as a card for you to skim.
Can I sync more than one Google calendar?+
You choose which calendar to sync during setup. Most people sync their primary work calendar so booking availability reflects real commitments. You can change the connected calendar later from Settings.
Will syncing my calendar let agents schedule things without me?+
No. Agents propose; you approve. Booking pages respect your real availability, and any meeting an agent suggests still arrives as a card. The calendar connection improves accuracy, it does not remove your approval step.
